Tianjin FAW Toyota Motor Co., Ltd.

New Toyota Factory

Project Summary

Project
The USD 170 million factory construction project, which includes joint workshops covering more than 26,000 square meters, will mainly be used for producing important parts for more than ten types of automobiles. It is expected to reach an annual output of USD 320 million after completion. Given the intricate pipelines and complex construction requirements, the preliminary 2D design was inefficient, causing problems with material estimates, pipeline interferences, onsite changes, and construction delays. To overcome these issues and ensure efficient communication among a multi-disciplined, geographically dispersed team, Tianjin FAW Toyota Motor Co. needed an integrated 3D modeling solution.

Outcome
Working in a 3D modeling environment optimized design and construction of the factory, saving more than USD 470,000 on repeated construction costs. Implementing clash detection and problem analysis during the design phase saved USD 240,000 in material costs. Simulating construction progress ensured sequencing and efficient work distribution, maximizing construction space and shortening construction time by more than eight weeks. Using ProjectWise accelerated accurate, electronic information sharing, improving work efficiency by 80% and reducing travel expenses by approximately USD 117,000.

Tianjin FAW Toyota Motor Co. optimized the design and construction of its largest parts factory in China using Bentley’s 3D modeling, analysis, and collaboration tools, saving USD 470,000 in repeated construction costs and reducing construction time by more than eight weeks.
